Thanks again Janet for loving animals the way you do.”

“Вот перевод в дружелюбной форме для отзыва на английском: --- I’m so glad I reached out to her for help. She communicated with me every step of the way, showed real care and passion for what she does, and paid attention to the little things I didn’t even think to mention. I honestly couldn’t imagine better service. Not only did she keep my cat great company — which I’m so thankful for — but she even noticed how I take care of the trash and did the same, rinsing out the cat food cans before tossing them. I never asked for that, and it really touched me to see such thoughtfulness. I highly recommend her. If I ever need help again, I won’t even look around — I’ll go straight to Jennifer.”
“Porsche did an excellent job with my cat. After a week away, i came home to a happy cat. She sent me a number of photographs while away and answered all my texts in detail. i highly recommend working with Porsche.”
“I think Marilyn is a wonderful cat sitter. She was recommended to me by a friend. We set a time to meet and she was very punctual. My cat Bella definitely liked her company. Marilyn took excellent care of Bella, feeding her and cleaning her litter box. Bella is on a prescription diet and has problems eating sometimes so it was a relief to know she was being cared for by Marilyn. She sat on the sofa and brushed Bella and Bella loves attention and she’s a social eater so Marilyn was perfect. She gave timely reports and sent pictures too! I’ve already scheduled to use her services again in a few weeks. I’d highly recommend her to others.”
“Thank you to Jaclyn for taking the last minute booking. We really appreciate her and the great care that she took of our Bunny & Howie and our home. Jaclyn sent us updates and photos which we love to see while we are away. We will absolutely book Jaclyn again. :)”
“Amanda took care of our three cats while we were away. She kept us in the know of what was going on at home. Leaving parts of your family is stressful but having Amanda check in on them made our travel stress free! Thank you Amanda!”
“Amanda is a very nice, kind and cheerful person! I can trust her every time I leave my cat and I’m sure Amanda will visit my furry friend, change feed and water bowls and send me some nice pictures of my cat. I’m really glad Amanda could make friends with my hesitating cat. I definitely recommend Amanda as a pets’ friend! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻”

“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”
“Milissa was super responsive and accommodating for our last minute request! Our pup was kept company the entire day with walk and lounge updates provided as well. Very convenient option for anyone in the NE area.”
“We had a last minute booking with Joseph for a funeral that was out of town for us. From the beginning, Joseph was super accommodating and sent videos and pictures throughout his whole stay. Onyx had the time of his life. He was sleep within 5 minutes of us driving home. We will ABSOLUTELY book again with Joseph next time we’re in Philly.”
“We did a trial stay with Gabriella before leaving our dog for a week in November. Kira was walked twice, had lunch, a nap and went on a little car ride. She was very happy when she got home. Gabriella was wonderful with her and it makes us feel much less anxious about leaving her.”
About: Hi there! I’m a dog trainer and co-owner of Philadelphia’s first Dog Bus, a mobile doggy daycare. I work with dogs every day and can accommodate 1–2 dogs for boarding or daycare.☺️ Our groups are small and carefully selected, so your pup must be friendly with other dogs. 🙏🏻 I also have a 7-year-old daughter and a few other animals besides my own dog—a cat, rabbit, canary, and fish. ☺️ They’re all used to having boarding dogs around. My life is centered around helping dog owners & shelter dogs, so I work with dogs every single day. Your pup can go with us to our daily adventures on the Dog Bus! I always make sure my dogs & client's dog have clean water and regular meal schedule. Daily long walks are very important as well. I do my best to make their environment clean, safe and escape-proofed.
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. Him being blind causes him to be sensitive but he was surprising comfortable with Emeline! She was nothing but nice and welcoming. She even sent pictures/updates of how our furbaby was doing throughout his time with her. You could tell she really cares for the pets. Definitely recommend her as a sitter! We are absolutely using her again in the future!”
“Another set of successful doggy daycare days with Jeffrey. He continues to be an excellent sitter. I have multiple bookings with him coming up, and I plan to continue booking with him indefinitely.”
“We are repeat clients with Douglas. Our gal Pebbles gets so excited when we pull up to his house, she has a great time there, which you can see in her smile in the pictures he sends. Always feel at ease knowing she's in good hands.”
“Natalie was attentive and easy to communicate with. She made sure she learned about my dog before caring for him and kept me updated the entire time. Definitely recommend!”
“Hardy and his daughter were absolutely amazing with Ziggy! From the very first moment, they made sure Ziggy felt safe, comfortable, and right at home. Hardy was so communicative — he called me with updates and sent pictures throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind. What really stood out is that this was a last-minute request, and Hardy came through without hesitation. Ziggy genuinely enjoyed every moment of his stay. Highly recommend Hardy to any pet parent looking for someone who truly cares!”
“Yuhan was very good with my dog Teddy, and too him on short notice as I had a last minute event to attend. She was a great communicator and sent me lots of pictures which I loved. She's a lovely person and filled me in everything about my pet when I picked him up.”
“She had great availability, and my dog loved playing with hers. She was flexible about dietary things (like my dog on a raw meat diet). She took cute pictures and kept me abreast of my dog’s urination and bowel movements. She was kind, kept a clean house, had fenced in space outdoors for the dogs to play and get some exercise, movement and sunlight. She was reliable and felt safe with my dog in her care.”

I am currently not working for the summer. Right now, My availability is flexible until I go back to work I live in a house with a backyard not fenced. I have a porch that has a porch potty. I will also take your dog for walks occasionally walks.
“Melody was absolutely amazing! I initially booked a last-minute dog-sitting appointment, and she accommodated me with no issues. She kept me updated throughout the day, letting me know when my pup went potty or had a meal, and even helped with crate training. I noticed positive changes in my pup—he was much calmer upon pick-up, which showed how well he was cared for. Melody was incredibly reliable, watching my pup for a full two weeks, and I never once had to worry about his well-being. She even assisted with food changes, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend Melody to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”
“Mary is amazing, I keep going back to her. She gives great updates and is not shy on giving details. She cared for my dog in the snow and kept him happy and warm. She is so sweet and my dog was so excited to see her. I would recommend!”
“Cody had a nice time with Rhea and Argo (her dog). He’s pretty un-dog friendly, ignores them mostly, but Rhea took good care of him and Arlo gave him his space😂. Excellent communication. We have already booked with Rhea again!”

“My labradoodle puppy Guinness is always so happy to see Roseanna and her family for a bit of doggy daycare, and they’ve even accepted him into their home for the day with little notice! He is always still happy when I go pick him up after a day of playing with them, and all the dogs. In addition to that we’ve gotten great tips and feedback from Roseanna. Guinness can’t wait for his next stay! Thank you!”

Recovery has been hard but my little girl has gotten TLC and her walks have made everything go smoother. You are the Best!!”

I volunteered at an animal shelter for multiple years and want to continue animal based experiences! I work currently part time but often have my weekends free and enjoy a good walk after getting off of my job, I do part time teacher work so the mental refresh is helpful I believe in utmost safety priority, including surveying surroundings constantly for threats, adjusting to it situationally and avoiding drawing attention to it incase it excites the animal.

“Hadiya is great! She’s amazing with her high level of care, consideration, and attention to detail! I’m really glad to be working with her! My dogs love her 🫶🏾”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes since I can remember. Dog poop, hairballs, slobber…not grossed out, will clean it all. We recently lost our 17-year-old chihuahua, so I have experience caring for a senior pet as well. I’m a freelance creative, working from home with a very flexible schedule. I can easily shift my day around to meet your pet care needs! I am a sucker for instructions and will follow them to a T. Your pet(s) will get my undivided attention, love, and care. And, with your permission, I love to take photos of your pets and share them with you to add a little bright spot to your day.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a cat owner myself and have two wonderful female cats. I’m passionate about providing care. I volunteer at the SPCA and received training in both feline and canine behavior and handling. I regularly attend cat adoption events to help cats find loving homes. A few years ago, my family drove hours to adopt my now 4 year old cat, Francis, after finding her through a Craigslist listing. I’ve also sat pets for family and friends, cats and dogs. I have experience caring for small animals such as hamsters, gerbils, and mice. I use SEPTA and Lyft for transportation, for that reason, I prefer bookings within Philly. My services are available to you and your pet 24/7. My personal routine is very flexible! Your pet comes first and will always be under my supervision during the stay. I am Fear Free® certified and aim for every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I follow any given instructions and keep you updated during the stay with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: We got our dog when I was 9 years old. Stanley was a vivacious little chihuahua mix who loved chasing squirrels, cats, dogs that were much bigger than him. This included my uncle's pitbull, who he chased up a flight of steps in our house. Stanley was always there when I needed him, and when i moved to college, he was one of the family members that i missed most. Dogs do so much for us, each of them having their own personality. My goal is to provide your furry family member with the company and care that they need while you are away. I believe that my now 10 years of experinece caring for my own dog and my Uncle's pitbull has prepared me for giving dogs the love and care that they need. Playing with neighborhood pups is something I like to do for fun in my spare time. Since Im currently unemployed, by availability is more open. I believe in treating other people's homes with the same respect I would like for my own. Mind your business, put things back where you found them, and dont let the dog drink out of the toilet.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 or 11, and that's when I also started working on a ranch. Until about 2019 I took care of dogs, chickens, horses, and cats. Animals are a very important part of my life and I'm very good at taking care of them. Taking care of pets is a full-time job, but it's one that I've enjoyed my entire life. I take care of animals in some way everyday and everywhere I've gone. Everything in my house is pet proof and I have hardwood floors just in case there are any accidents. There are gated off and inaccessible areas that the cats can get into but the dogs can't. Everybody has a space. I also have a fenced in yard for them to explore. I live in a very nice neighborhood as well, so it's a safe area to walk the dogs.
About: Have had dogs my whole life all in varying degrees of health, age, size, etc. Ex puppy foster as well love taking care of puppies I’m currently working dinner shift at a restaurant so I’m able to provide majority of care in the mornings or at night unless off that day. Kind and caring pet care from someone who misses having pets of my own, I’d love to play with and help take care of yours.
